[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

"You're forgetting another one you have, Ventus: Ariel.  I could also use Starmie if we have to."

"Unfortunatly, I switched her out for my newest addition on my team for Haniel the Numal , so we can not rely for her help down here I am afraid. However, Shiva is right about Raphael's move Magical Leaf usefulness, and it also has Aura Sphere as well if they prove resistant to Grass type Attacks. Having Starmie on the battlefield using Bubble would be optimal and its natural light would make seeing the Pokémon easier, but that choice is up to you Nathan. And he is certainly right about Valder's Froakie knowing Bubble, but I do believe he rather use Ghastly and Theo in battle for the moment due to their ability to fully see and operate in the Dark. Thank you for your input, my friends, and thank you Nate for being my reminder. " Ventus said, giving a slight, wane smile to both Shiva and the still very apathetic boy. While things were certainly tense between, that doesn't mean they have to be uncooperative with one another. At least he hopes not...

At Shiva's comments on Magnitude, he only nodded his head at that, but at her slight humorous jab on his lack of success with Pokémon persuasion caused him to let out a small sigh and shrugs his shoulders, having heard such things about him before. "I'm a Pokémon Sociologist and Behavioralist, not a specialized handler and caretaker of Pokémon like a Breeder or Exerciser. I have experience conciling and handling viscous, Disobedient, or problematic Pokémon and a wealth of research and field experience, but those experiences are not exactly applicable on long, personal journies such as the one I'm on now. That, and even though I'm an empath, its not like I can CONTROL how they feel about me. I can only read their emotional state, pattern, and its level of intensity, and make a judgement on what to do based on that. Sometimes its works out...and other times it does not. Such is the nature of dealing with wild Pokémon. I'm not surprised you manage to acquire all your Pokémon non-violently, due to the fact that you were raised and trained to be a Breeder first and foremost, and your own charming nature. Still, all I can do is improve upon my failures, and hope that I do better the next time, so I'm not too bothered by this....much."

Once he was done with that small speech, he takes a deep breath, getting some much needed air into his lungs, before he spoke once more on their battle plan. "My recommendation is for us to use Pulse, Joltik, Starmie, and Raphael in battle, as we can quickly knock out all the Pokémon if we swamp them with enough Group Attacks. Are we in agreement on this course of action?"
